Is there any way to create labels for the actual variable names rather
than just the values of a variable without renaming the variable in a
proc freq?  Just curious...I guess the easiest way would be to rename
them...

I'm not sure if I understand what you are asking.  You can always
include a label statement.  E.g.:

proc freq data=3Dsashelp.class;
    label sex=3D"Students' Gender"
          age=3D"Students' Age";
    tables sex age;
run;

Yeah, I think that is it - thanks so much!  :-)

Actually,  that does not work....I tried it and it puts the label as
like a title under " The FREQ Procedure" but it does not actually
replace the variable name.  I think SAS needs to fix that!!!!!

Another alternative, then, is to temporarilly recode your data.  I
would suggest creating a macro variable to make the code more
readable.  For example:

data labels;
  informat vname vlabel $32.;
  input vname vlabel;
  cards;
sex Student_Gender
age Student_Age
;

proc sql noprint;
  select catx("=3D",vname,vlabel)
     into :labels separated by " "
       from labels
;
quit;

proc freq data=3Dsashelp.class
       (rename=3D(&labels.));
    tables _all_;
run;

Use proc tabulate instead to control the labels...too hard to manage
in proc freq IMO.

If you put sample proc freq code, I'm sure you could get help
converting to Proc tabulate...but not hard anyways.
